This H/W error log driver (a.k.a eMCA driver) is implemented based on
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/enhanced-mca-logging-xeon-paper.html
After errors are captured, more detailed platform specific information
can be got via this new enhanced H/W error log driver. Most notably we
can track memory errors back to the DIMM slot silk screen label.

We have a lot of confusing names of functions and data structures in
amongs the the error reporting code. In particular the "apei" prefix
has been applied to many objects that are not part of APEI. Since we
will be using these routines for extended error log reporting it will
be clearer if we fix up the names first.

Commit 3fa4d734 (usb: phy: rename nop_usb_xceiv => usb_phy_gen_xceiv)
changed the conditional around the declaration of usb_nop_xceiv_register
from
#if defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV) ||
(defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV_MODULE) && defined(MODULE))
to
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV)
While that looks the same, it is semantically different. The first expression
is true if CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV is built as module and if the including
code is built as module. The second expression is true if code depending on
CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV if built as module or into the kernel.
As a result, the arm:allmodconfig build fails with
arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap3_evm_init':
arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap3evm.c:703: undefined reference to

Fix the problem by reverting to the old conditional.

Previously, we wanted SCSI devices corrsponding to ATA devices to
be runtime resumed when the power resource for those ATA device was
turned on by some other device, so we added the SCSI device to the
dependent device list of the ATA device's ACPI node. However, this
code has no effect after commit 41863fc (ACPI / power: Drop automaitc
resume of power resource dependent devices) and the mechanism it was
supposed to implement is regarded as a bad idea now, so drop it.

Revert commit 1ecfd533f4 ("mm/mremap.c: call pud_free() after fail
calling pmd_alloc()").
The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()
ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they
need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by
the subsequent do_munmap(). Whereas commit 1ecfd533f4 did an
unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from
swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by
concurrent swapon.
The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device
exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096
and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize
of swapped off device with wrong blocksize.
The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon:
0. Swap for some device is on.
1. swapoff:
First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct
*p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is
released for the call try_to_unuse().
2. swapon:
After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex &
swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device.
The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device.
This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not.
The swapon ends successfully.
3. swapoff:
Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this
swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info
which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Commit c4fe244857 ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added
proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and
proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if
get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file,
which causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore.
To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default
current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if
pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e. the one in actual file
operation in the procfs file, is not defined.

Currently, proc_reg_get_unmapped_area truncates upper 32-bit of the
mapped virtual address returned from get_unmapped_area method in
pde->proc_fops due to the variable rv of signed integer on x86_64. This
is too small to have vitual address of unsigned long on x86_64 since on
x86_64, signed integer is of 4 bytes while unsigned long is of 8 bytes.
To fix this issue, use unsigned long instead.

Since pause is bounded by [min_pause, max_pause] where min_pause is also

ick: pause : -717

ick: max_pause : -717
ick: pages_dirtied : 14

The problem lies in the two "long = unsigned long" assignments in
bdi_max_pause() which might go negative if the highest bit is 1, and the
min_t(long, ...) check failed to protect it falling under 0. Fix all of
them by using "unsigned long" throughout the function.

Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.
The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.
Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

Commit 3812c8c8f3 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full
callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a
memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache
readahead. But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate
them all.
First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed
allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of
the fault handling as well. This simplifies the code quite a bit for
added bonus.
Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the
fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault
finishes for subsequent allocation attempts. If an allocation is
attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so
that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer.

we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the
0xEE (GPT protective) as errors.
However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone
uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk. Since
this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working
and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.

Commit 11feeb4980 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic
compound pages.
That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for
all head and tail pages of a compound page. So that if get_user_pages
returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to
know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different
refcounting.
The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is
certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages
allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages
(the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage
is freed).
This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we
can retain the optimization in 11feeb4980. The cacheline was already
modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of
large memory systems.

Subject: mm/zswap: bugfix: memory leak when invalidate and reclaim occur concurrently
Consider the following scenario:
thread 0: reclaim entry x (get refcount, but not call zswap_get_swap_cache_page)
thread 1: call zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page to invalidate entry x.
finished, entry x and its zbud is not freed as its refcount != 0
now, the swap_map[x] = 0
thread 0: now call zswap_get_swap_cache_page
swapcache_prepare return -ENOENT because entry x is not used any more
zswap_get_swap_cache_page return ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM
zswap_writeback_entry do nothing except put refcount
Now, the memory of zswap_entry x and its zpage leak.
Modify:
- check the refcount in fail path, free memory if it is not referenced.
- use ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_FAIL instead of ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM as the fail path
can be not only caused by nomem but also by invalidate.

We should clear the page's private flag when returing the page to the
hugepage pool. Otherwise, marked hugepage can be allocated to the user
who tries to allocate the non-reserved hugepage. If this user fail to
map this hugepage, he would try to return the page to the hugepage pool.
Since this page has a private flag, resv_huge_pages would mistakenly
increase. This patch fixes this situation.

After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the
array is still valid.
- semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but
should be ok: all lists are empty)
- semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal -
access memory after free.
The patch also:
- standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one
function leave the function with the same approach.
- unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to
sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be
tested twice.
Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must
be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the
function uses "goto cleanup").
The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then
the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no
additional test is required.

for_each_online_cpu() needs the protection of {get,put}_online_cpus() so
cpu_online_mask doesn't change during the iteration.
cpu_hotplug.lock is held while a cpu is going down, it's a coarse lock
that is used kernel-wide to synchronize cpu hotplug activity. Memcg has
a cpu hotplug notifier, called while there may not be any cpu hotplug
refcounts, which drains per-cpu event counts to memcg->nocpu_base.events
to maintain a cumulative event count as cpus disappear. Without
get_online_cpus() in mem_cgroup_read_events(), it's possible to account
for the event count on a dying cpu twice, and this value may be
significantly large.
In fact, all memcg->pcp_counter_lock use should be nested by
{get,put}_online_cpus().
This fixes that issue and ensures the reported statistics are not vastly
over-reported during cpu hotplug.
